GARMENT.

sion means for the wearers nether garments,

and also provides an effective belt for conlining the waist-bands of such garments.

A particularly valuable feature of my improved garment is the ease and simplicity of its investiture, since it is provided with six button holes by which'it may be'buttoned upon the six suspender buttons ordinarily provided upon bifurcated nether garments. While I have provided the usual means of adjusting the suspension means' and the belt to accommodate the garment to wearers of different sizes, when the parts are adjusted the garment may be put on and taken olf by merely the manipulation of the buttons ordinarily used for suspen ders without having to resort to the use of any buckles or other fastening means.

I have indicated in the drawings filed herewith one specific embodiment of my invention, but it is to be clearly understood that I do not consider my invention limited to the details of construction illustrated, but refer for its scope to the claims appended hereto.

From the foregoing description of the parts of my garment it will be obvious that I provide a covering for the back of the wearer, Suspenders to support the pants, and a belt to retain the proper shape of the upper part of the pants. I

I-Iaving described my invention, whatV I claim is: v

In a body garment, the combination of a back covering provided with two button holes; a pair of suspender straps attached to the upper edge of said covering andeach provided in its end with a button hole; and a pair of belt straps, each attached to one side of said covering and provided with a button hole. v
